COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONCask: Regular. Exported as George Gales Best Bitter
A new beer created from an old recipe in the Gales brewing book. Originally available as a seasonal in September, now a regular. A delightful beer full of spicy hop notes with a fruity maltiness.Five pence from every pint of Seafarers Ale sold will be donated to Seafarers UK, a maritime charity.

Cask @ Euston Flyer, London. A classic bitter colour- dark golden almost orange colour. Aroma is light malt, biscuits. Taste much the same, not very bitter. Old fashioned traditional english bitter, nice though and very sessionable. I could drink this all night even if (or maybe (defo) because of) it isn't exactly the most interesting out there beer. You don't have to think about it, and it's nice.

Malty aroma with some sour mash. Pours golden clear with decent lacing and head. Finishes a little bitter, a little sour. Average carbonation and slightly cloying texture. On tap at Monk’s Table after a long day of beer at Session yesterday.

On draught at Cochrane’s in Hong Kong. Pours a clear, light amber with a 2 inch frothy head. Bitter malty aroma. Body is full and has a nice bitter taste. Full and satisfying for such a light beer. Amazingly good sessionability while being full flavored yet light and still satisfying. One of the best English bitters I found on draught in Hong Kong.

Cask at The Old Joint Stock, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a bubbly off-white head. The aroma is weak malt leading to a medium bitter, malty flavour. The palate is rather weak and watery with just a little malt and the bitterness does fade rather quickly. If seafarers had to drink this at sea I’d be glued to a telescope searching for land!
